Additional Notes:
Despite being a Chinense pepper, the Aji Jobito lacks the fiery punch of its habanero cousins.
The plant is a prolific producer, offering an abundance of sweet peppers throughout the season.
The thick flesh makes it ideal for salads, salsas, or stuffing.
Be aware that occasional pods, especially from the first harvest, might have a touch of heat.
Enjoy the Aji Jobito's unique combination of sweetness and versatility, adding a touch of the tropics to your culinary creations!
